Slow Cooker Mac and Cheese
I needed to make mac and cheese for church this past Sunday. Of course, I woke up late. Typical, Coop. I had to figure out a way to cook while I dressed. Heeeeey, Crock pot! I rarely use the thing. That’s about to change! This mac and cheese is my new favorite! Easy, sinfully creamy,…
Jerk Chicken Sliders with Pineapple Slaw
I needed a flavor shock in my life. When I think of flavor explosions, I think of Jamaican food. So, today, we’re making Jerk Chicken Sliders with a sweet, tangy pineapple slaw! I love it! The perfect blend of comparable herbs and spices is just delightful! Jamaicans know flavor!! Of course, I had to make…
Yakamein
Here’s my take on a New Orleans original!! Good Ole Sober!! Cures you from that wild night of fun on Bourbon Street. Now, this Creole/Asian dish was meant to utilize readily available ingredients. So, leftover cooked meats are welcomed. To those not familiar with Yakamein, this soup can look a little scary! But, trust me, once you…
Easy Peach Cobbler
Cookies, I tweaked my peach cobbler recipe and little. No, nothing’s changed with how much I HATE baking. No, I really hate it! But, I do it. However, it has to be simple and quick. Cause I can’t deal with mixers and ovens for too long! But, my Peach Cobbler is worth the small hassle.…
Seafood Stuffed Bell Peppers
Okay, I’m so long overdue with this one. Please forgive your girl! I was asked to film this over a month ago. I’m finally getting around to doing it. I promise these peppers are worth the wait! This is the seafood version. Duh, Coop! I know you already read the title. But, anyway, these things…
Broccoli And Cheese Soup
My sweet aunt is recovering from surgery and can finally eat more than Jell-O and broth. Two weeks of bland food is torture! Coop to the rescue! I wanted to make something easy to eat, but packed with feel good flavor. This broccoli and cheese soup is it! I used to leave the carrots out…
Homemade Meat Sauce
It’s been a rough five days for Louisiana. This massive flood has caused so much devastation. But, Louisiana is full of resilient folks with huge hearts. We’ll help each other through it all. Today, I’m finally back in my kitchen! I filmed my meat sauce for you. You can make a big batch of this…
Crawfish Mac and Cheese
Lobster mac and cheese is delightful. But, here in Louisiana, crawfish is king, baby! I wanted to show you how I make easy, quick, and cheap mac and cheese! But, crawfish were on sale at the store, so ding, ding…crawfish mac and cheese! Watch me tease you…. Easy right? It’s completely sinful, but God…
Salisbury Steak
As a child, yeah we’re going down memory lane for a sec, so bear with me. I considered Salisbury steak boring and completely unappealing. You know, it NEVER looked as good inside the frozen dinner box as the picture did outside. That’s a whole other story and life lesson. Any who, now that I’m a…
